I have gone to so many people for help but no one is able to give me a honest, professional, educated answer. I need to set up two speakers in my basement and I would like to play cd's through them as well as be able to use a microphone and talk with the output coming from those same speakers. I went to a guitar store and he told me I would need the following items: amplifier, speakers, subwoofer, mixer, and a cd player. What I have so far is this:
speakers: polk atrium 45 outdoor speakers
amplifier: Crown-XLS-202D-Power-Amplifier
mixer: Behringer-Xenyx-502-Mixer
cd player: sony 5 disc cd changer
Now for the subwoofer, the guy told me it has to have two things: a built-in crossover for the speakers and it has to be active and not passive. The one he showed me was:
KRK-RP-10S-Rokit-Powered-Subwoofer
Now my question is that where can I find a cheaper subwoofer that has those same capabilities because I am looking to spend no more than $600 on this entire system and the most expensive component is the subwoofer. I found this yamaha subwoofer: yamaha YST-SW216BL
but he told me that the crossover it has it for the subwoofer itself, and not for the speakers. Does it really matter though as what I need is nothing huge just simple cd output as well as microphone output through two speakers. Thanks!!
